The free installation gear we include with most car stereos and car speakers you buy from us helps you achieve a clean, professional-looking installation - and saves you money, too. So what do we include to make your job easier?

With most car stereo purchases, we'll send you a free installation kit, a wiring harness, a set of custom installation instructions, plus an antenna adapter if your car needs one.

The installation kit helps your stereo fit in your dash, and look like it belongs there.

The wiring harness lets you connect your new receiver to your car's wiring with a simple plug.

The Crutchfield MasterSheet™ is a detailed, illustrated set of instructions that shows you step-by-step how to install a new stereo or speakers in your specific car.

And if your car needs an adapter to connect the AM/FM antenna to your new receiver, we'll send you that along with your other installation gear.

When you buy speakers from us, we'll send free wiring harnesses, mounting brackets if your vehicle requires them, and a detailed set of instructions.

The speaker wiring harnesses let you plug your new speakers into your existing speaker wiring, saving you tons of time.

Speaker mounting brackets let you adapt aftermarket speakers to the factory openings and install smaller speakers into larger openings, giving you more choices when you shop for speakers.

And of course, you'll get Crutchfield's legendary technical support, free for the life of your gear. Our experienced tech department is available 7 days a week should you need them.

See what stereos and speakers will fit your car at crutchfield.com/whatfits, or just contact us if you have any questions about free installation gear.

Ralph from Portland, OR

I purchased a radio at Best Buy for my 1990 Toyota Pickup truck. I went to have them install it and they said that my truck didn't have a factory installed radio and was missing the original rails. So at this point I can return the unit to them... Do you have the install rails if I purchase the radio from you?

jacques from Canada (Quebec)

Hi, I fit a clarion CX505 to replace my shaker 500 Mustang 2005
I don't know where to plug the blue/white wire(amplifier turn on lead)
because there is no wire unuse with the factory plug
The sub don't work
Do i need the metra AFDI-5v?

Posted on 6/16/2015 10:13:03 AM

Robert Ferency-Viars from Crutchfield

Jacques, yes, you need the AFDI-5V to eliminate the turn-on "pop" from the subwoofer amp, once you get it working that is. Here's our web page for your Mustang's wiring harness. Click on the "Details" tab, then click on "Download owner's manual" to get a wiring diagram that will show you how to connect the wiring harness to the AFDI-5V, which should then get your subwoofer working. Good luck!

Shafayet from New York

HI, to change the stereo, do I have to change the speakers amplifiers etc?

Posted on 6/24/2015 8:56:58 AM

Robert Ferency-Viars from Crutchfield

Shafayet, normally, no. You can change either the speakers or the stereo independently of one another, and that's how most people do it: first the stereo and later on, the speakers, for example. There are a few factory audio systems, most notably some older Bose systems, where this is not the case. In those systems, if you're going to change one part, you have replace the entire system and maybe even run new wiring. But that, thankfully, is a rare situation.

Do you still have install kits for 2000 Mercurys? The hole is double din size just like in my 2005 Ford f150. The kit for that vehicle has been great; now ten years going.

Posted on 7/5/2015 8:15:31 PM

Alexander Hrabe from Crutchfield

Brad, yes, we do have kits for a number of 2000 Mercury vehicles. You can use our vehicle selector to confirm which stereos fit your car and which kit you'll need for the installation. Or just give us a call at 1.888.955.6000.

Tim kopp from Chattanooga, TN

Dash kit? (Radio / disc changer). My 2004 disc changer quit working on me. I'm fairly handy on installation work with radios and dash kits..ect. Can you tell me what direction i need to go to find a dash kit to add a double din DVD player to my 04' Infiniti fx35? They seem fairly hard to find online and I've had good luck w crutch field before . Let me know if there's something out there I can get through you guys

Posted on 7/12/2015 5:10:51 PM

Alexander Hrabe from Crutchfield

Tim: Unfortunately, we don't carry a kit for the '04 Infiniti fx35. You'll have to fabricate a kit to add a double-DIN stereo. If you know of a professional installer in your area, it might be worth checking with them to see what they can do.

John from Livonia Mi.

Just spoke to Marshall about a mounting issue for a Kenwood marine unit for a boat . I inquired if there was a flush mount kit, as I don't have a dashboard (sailboat). Marshall directed me to a universal mount kit and offered to ship it free. Although it wasn't what I had in mind it will work out better. Thanks Marshall and Crutchfield your customer service is fantastic!

Andy from Castries

I have a head unit from my previous car and I'm looking at replacing the head unit in my 2006 (E53) bmw x5. What do I need and how much will it cost?

Sohail from Los Angeles

Hi, I have a 2005 G35. I would like to replace my factory Bose with my Pioneer Premier. I would appreciate any tips.

Posted on 7/26/2015 10:43:25 PM

Alexander Hrabe from Crutchfield

Andy, we can't help you with installing the head unit from your old car into your current car, if that's what you're asking. There's no guarantee that it will fit and we don't carry OEM to OEM wiring harnesses. However, if you're interested in an aftermarket stereo, you have options (depending on your model X5) and we can help you with that. Give us a call at 1.888.955.6000.

Posted on 7/27/2015 9:24:36 AM

Alexander Hrabe from Crutchfield

Sohail, you'll need this harness to integrate your radio with the Bose system. We carry kits as well to match your vehicle's interior. Give us a call at 1.888.955.6000 and we can help you with all of your installation needs.

I had to call for support on the evening of installation. Your tech helped me get going in minutes. It was good to be able to call at that hour, and nice to talk to someone who knew the problem immediately.
